Kids being "mature for their age" is a GIGANTIC red flag that almost always goes unnoticed, amirite?

Sometimes being mature for your age is abuse. Sometimes its autism. Sometimes its mental illness. It can be all. It can be none.

Sometimes it's being the oldest sibling/cousin and naturally falling into a "protector" role.

Or an only child. I'm an only child and grandchild.

That's why I said naturally. I didn't have to be told to keep an eye on my little cousins. It was just something I did.

For me it's ✨ trauma ✨

I was a very mature and independent child because I had siblings with bad health problems, which drew a lot of time from my parents onto them. It's not a red flag or abuse, many kids are mature just from being raised well. And it's not my parents fault, I'm still close with them and I don't blame them for my siblings getting more time.

Ok good I'll make sure to pay extra attention to kids behaving well, also I'll make sure to keep extra attention on kids behaving badly because I've heard acting out means problems at home. I guess I'll just watch all kids and assume all of them are abused at home. Thank you!

abuse is when parents make any mistakes at all parenting

I was mature for my age and I got no traumas to lose sleep from. What a gigantic reach.

More often than not it is true.

great PSA talking about mature for their age children! I especially like how you never describe what being 'mature' is, how to identify the behavior, and contrast between them and other children. Elegant effort by mentioning general socializing issues and signs of anxiety/depression without any details. kudos for mentioning troubled kids and summarizing their issues as 'probably going through something' 10/10 PSA /s

Not always abuse. Often times it's autism/ ADHD

Yea this is an insane reach. I would say if you are mature for your age you are more likely to have good parents who pushed you to build self esteem and skills. Not abuse. Touch grass brother,

Depends on the situation. 'd also add that they know more about certain things than most kids their age. And kids who grow up too fast don't always act "mature," they can also act in a way that is reckless in a grown-up way. Kids who are very sheltered by strict parents can also seem mature, but in a totally different way and for different reasons.

better to be mature for your age as a child than being immature as an adult

The kids I've taught with the worst home lives have been the biggest messes at school. The opposite of your opinion is true.
